Value Collection 1667 U Nut M6x1.00 Spring Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 1667 is a metric U nut designed for M6x1.00 screw threads, manufactured from spring steel with an extruded tapped hole construction. This fastener clips onto sheet metal panels ranging from 0.8 to 4mm thick and provides a reliable threaded receptacle without requiring a pre-tapped hole or access to the back of the panel. The center-to-edge measurement is 13.5mm. Fabricators, assembly technicians, and maintenance trades use this style of nut to speed up panel assembly and service access on enclosures, frames, and housings.

This U nut is suited for metric fastener applications in light-gauge sheet metal assemblies where a captive or floating nut is needed for repeated access. Typical installations include electrical enclosures, HVAC equipment panels, control boxes, and equipment housings where M6 fasteners are used and panel thickness falls within the 0.8 to 4mm range. The spring steel construction maintains clip retention force through repeated removal and reinstallation cycles.

Key Features

• Extruded tapped hole design accepts M6x1.00 screw threads without a separately installed nut
• Fits panel stock from 0.8 to 4mm thick
• Spring steel construction provides consistent clip retention and thread engagement
• 13.5mm center-to-edge dimension for consistent panel placement
• Metric fastener system for compatibility with metric-threaded hardware

Compatibility

Designed for use with M6x1.00 screws on light-gauge sheet metal panels between 0.8 and 4mm thick. No specific OEM model compatibility was provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by sliding the U nut onto the panel edge until the clip seats against the sheet metal surface, then aligning the tapped hole with the mating fastener location. Verify panel thickness falls within the 0.8 to 4mm rated range before installation to ensure proper clip retention. Power down any energized enclosure or equipment before accessing panels during installation or replacement. Use the correct M6x1.00 driver or wrench to avoid stripping the extruded thread.
